Peak Ballydoyle

It ain't over yet mate, you could be made eat your words yet...

It has been a shocking season by historical standards for the Aidan O'Brien stable and, indeed, for those that relentlessly back the stable's horses blindly. Ballydoyle went 0-18 at Glorious Goodwood this year, for example. Between 28 April and 16 August 2019 34 HORSES from the stable returned with an SP below 2/1 and sent off favourite were beaten, with the shocking defeat of Sir Dragonet the 4/9F at the Curragh on Friday 16 Aug the latest in a long line of major disappointments. The fanboys and cheerleaders have been silenced, with nobody daring to suggest that we have now reached Peak-Ballydoyle - nothing, of course, to do with the fact that O'Brien has recently welcomed members of the media to his Ballydoyle base for the launch of Longines Irish Champions Weekend. The table below lists the heavily-backed favourites from the Aidan O'Brien stable that were tipped up by the folk at the Racing Post and Timeform and duly beaten between the 8th and the 16th of August 2019. These gambles are pathological and driven by animal spirts - the fact that a horse comes from the O'Brien stable, has a decent pedigree and is framed as betting market favourite by the bookmakers is sufficient to trigger information cascades and mass herding.

whats worse is that how can he win 2 gns with magna grecia. hermosa a derby with avd, a st james palace with maximus, just shows how pathetic our horses arein uk  , thank god for mr gosden, dont think coolmore has had a really top class  horse for years   .
